Hello, my fellow hackers! Today we're going to be covering a little bit of Wi-Fi hacking. Specifically, we're going to be learning how to kick other people off of wireless networks, even when we're not connected to it ourselves! We're going to be using an external wireless adapter for this, so if you don't have one, I highly recommend getting one, as it is an essential piece of equipment for hacking Wi-Fi! The wireless adapter I'll be using for this lesson is the Atheros Ar9271, which is capable of packet injection (injection is a very important feature to have for our wireless adapter). Now that we've got all … [Read More...]

Have you ever learned a new command, application, or tool, only to find that one week later you're struggling to remember the exact syntax? Sure, Linux command line tools have help features, but they can be pretty cumbersome. That's why cheat sheets exist, folks, and they can be a real life saver. Well, maybe a cheat sheet won't save your life, but it can certainly save you oodles of time, headaches, frustration, and invalid commands.
That's why I've compiled some of the most popular and frequently used penetration testing commands in three sections: general Linux usage, NMAP scanning, and Metasploit. It should … [Read More...]

Welcome back my fellow hackers! Today we're going to be starting a series that I've been meaning to start for some time now. We're going to start discussing exploitation. As hackers, exploitation is a very large part of our job. Once we find the vulnerabilities, we need to exploit them. We've already covered some aspects of exploitation in the past, so if you're not up to speed I suggest starting with those.
First we'll talk about some terms that get thrown around a lot when talking about exploitation. I'm just going to make a list of the terms, followed by their definition. These terms are going to be … [Read More...]

Welcome back my fellow hackers! We've covered host discovery tactics before; specifically, we've covered ping scans and ARP scans. But we didn't go very in-depth when we covered ARP scans. Today we're going to dive head first into this enumeration tactic by building our own ARP sniffer!
This tool will use ARP to find other hosts on the network, that way we know who our neighbors are. We'll be writing this tool in Python, so brush on that if you haven't already. We'll also be using the Scapy library for manipulating the packets. We've already covered the basic usage of Scapy, so if you don't know (or just need … [Read More...]

Welcome back my fellow hackers! Recently, I've been delving into the incredibly interesting world of reverse engineering! I hope to write more about this topic some time in the future, but for now we'll just start with something simple. I took a few days and made a small reverse engineering challenge. Today, we're going to go through this challenge and solve it with all 3 intended solutions (if you can find more, leave them in the comments!).
We'll start with downloading and compiling the challenge, then we'll start solving it. Our first solution will be a buffer overflow vulnerability intentionally coded … [Read More...]
